Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Haven’t played any FPS since 2001-2003 w/ halo & counter strike on CPU. I’m 33, but I’m twitchy/fast compared to older gamers.

Got a X Bone recently w/ MCC collection.

I’ve done the first campaign Halo 1, since I never did it and havent played halo since then. Now 33% of Halo 2.

Decided F it, bought Halo 5 & an elite controller, that way I never have to “relearn”

Any advice on going against the norm on controller set up. Right now I have paddles to TL = Y TR = B, BL = X, BR = A. I seem to be more comfortable using the bottom 2 more? Which isnt the case with most people I think?

I have both big sticks in w/ smooth. Seem to be turning down my sensitivity more i play. I have real fast twitch to the point I medicate to slow down, so I overaim more than anything and suck cuz of it.

Just general suggestions, ways to approach multiplayer as a noob is what I’m looking for.

Keep doing campaigns? Jump into arenas (BTB? specificially)?, Warzone? – those seem like my options.
With warzone, do I just sit back and stack points til Im good enough to utilize?

Im looking for fun not to be the next big thing.

when i started out with 5 (which was my first controller fps, argh thats hard coming from CS) i only did warzone assault (99%) because the objective was so easy, and i had no problems finding my way around the map, since i could just stay in what should be defended, or go towards what should be attacked. i got my aim (kindda) and then started doing arena to learn the maps. i did a ton of overaim in the beginning as well. i had my aim at 2 and aim acc. at 1 that helped. also set your deadzones to 0 both of them, that removed a lot of my twitcyness.

and im 39 but many older guys holds their own in this game so dont worry about age. have fun.

appreciate the advice.

& Yeah forgot to mention, I got the deadzones @ 0 already as well.

Did a regular assault, and we got destroyed like 1200-200 lol. Was a little over whelming with the various bases and spawn points especially on a team being slaughtered. I’ll definitely give the assault version a go.

Def need to stick to Warzones or BTBs for awhile tho lol. 4v4 isnt fair to my teammates lol.

Thx again.
